Jing

Jungle Jing lives or dies on understanding the mirror image. With no image on the field, casting Skill 1 or Skill 2 spawns one for 2s, and it replicates everything you do except Skill 4. Your body and the image apply two different types of mark, and when both sit on the same enemy the marks shatter. The shatter deals physical damage equal to 4% of the target's lost Health and refreshes the cooldowns of Skill 1 and Skill 2, once every 5s. Drill that reset rhythm on jungle camps first, then hit level 4 as fast as you can. For early ganks, Skill 1's dash and 1.5s slow to stop their feet, plus the mirror's overlapping damage to complete the marks, is already plenty of chip. Practicing clean reset patterns beats greedy invades.

From around 7 minutes, with your first physical core item finished, Jing's burst puts squishy targets inside one-combo range. Hunt lone enemies in their jungle or on the side lanes: enter with Skill 1, complete the marks with the mirror, take the reset, re-dash with the refreshed Skill 1—chain that loop and they never get a turn. Skill 2 hits everything around you and pushes your own Movement Speed up by 50%, diminishing over 1s. The heal is biggest on the first enemy struck, with each additional target adding 25% of that amount. Swing it once you are fully inside their space and you get the damage, the heal, and the speed to leave on. Before the 4-minute Tyrant and the 10-minute Shadow Tyrant, deleting the enemy support who comes for vision frees up your whole team.

Late-game Jing is the flanking blade aimed at the enemy marksman's throat. With durability that folds in a few hits, diving the front of a 5v5 unplanned is suicide, so you spend long stretches waiting. Watch which target the enemy's point-and-click crowd control gets used on, then enter with Skill 1. Skill 3, Dimensional Shift, swaps you with your mirror image and covers both extending a kill and getting out. It stocks 1 charge every 10s and caps at 4. Even with a full hand, impose one rule on yourself—always keep one for the road home—and your deaths drop. Skill 4, Mirror Domain, flies forward pulling enemies along, then opens a Mirror Vortex at the stopping point and immobilizes whoever is at its center for 1s. Inside the vortex you also take reduced damage, so the dive comes with a layer of extra durability. Getting your swap read and answered with crowd control is the number one killer, so vary your swap timing every time.

Hold the perimeter until your tank draws the enemy's crowd control, then slide in the moment the backline's feet are exposed. Skill 1 into empowered basic attack into Skill 2 completes the marks; once they shatter and the reset lands, swap with your mirror using Skill 3 to make their counterattack whiff, then re-enter on the refreshed Skill 1—that in-and-out loop is the ideal form. Because the shatter scales off the target's lost Health, your execution speed climbs as the brawl wears on and health bars drop. While Skill 4 is active the shatter's cooldown falls from 5s to 2s, and inside the Mirror Vortex every hit you land stocks another charge of Skill 3. Every second spent hitting a full-HP tank is wasted, so keep your eyes locked on the softest target alive.
